For those who don’t know, I am incredibly accident-prone. I’ve never had any sort of grace. In fact, it’s a miracle I’ve never broken any bones. But one thing I do end up with are a lot of cuts and scrapes, and we end up keeping quite a large supply of the topic of today’s episode in the house at all times

From the ubiquitous First-Aid kit staple, to an 80s supergroup, to Penny Lane and her friends in the movie "Almost Famous," the episode is a little all over the place, but don’t worry, I’ll try to “stick” to the topic as much as possible.

I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Band-Aid.

Check out Heather Welch’s Sunshine Summit, where I will be a guest March 13th, and the summit runs from March 9-16.
